Stay safe at sea with the Pathfinder™ PRO Search and Rescue Transponder (SART).)
The Pathfinder Pro is a fully approved Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) compliant with IMO SOLAS regulations. When interrogated by radar, the Pathfinder Pro returns 12 intense blips to the vessel's radar screen, greatly enhancing search and rescue efforts.
The superior lithium battery provides over 96 hours of operating life in standby mode, waiting to be interrogated by radar, and 12 hours of active operating life while interrogated by radar.
The Pathfinder Pro comes with a sleek wall mount to keep this compact SART out of the way, yet readily accessible in an emergency. The attached telescopic pole conveniently connects to the bottom of the SART and provides maximum height and visibility out of a life craft. The SART can also be suspended inside the craft for hands-free usage.
